The Tanda Teaser challenge on the Tanda Forum at the moment is Wake up and smell the coffee - and the background had to be made using real tea or coffee! I made some strong coffee and rubbed it over some card until I liked the shade, then stamped onto it and matted onto some patterned paper, going round all the edges with chalk ink, and finally finishing with some brads and a little pearl in the flower.
The challenge on Tanda Teaser, on the Tanda Stamps forum, is to make a quick card in 15 minutes! This one is a quick card, I rubbed Faded Jeans and Broken China Distress Inks over the card, splattered with water and dried with my heat gun. The I stamped my Crafty Individuals swirl stamp around the edges, and highlighted a few bits with my Inkssentials pen. Then I stamped a message and matted it and added it to the card with a dragonfly brad to complete!
I am making Thank You cards at the moment, and as the theme on Penny Black Saturday is Embossing, and I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for this background of this, I thought it would be ideal! And the challenge on Tanda Teaser challenge is Thank You so I am entering it for that too! I used a Penny Black image and matted it onto the embossed background together with a stamped message, then stamped lots of tiny flowers all over with one of my Tapestry stamps and a lovely blue chalk ink as I have trouble leaving blank spaces on things! I finished with some punched flowers and gems.
